After a documentary about the singer’s life hit theaters earlier this year, the late Amy Winehouse is now in line to get the biopic treatment as well, and an impressive actress may be lined up to play her.

Noomi Rapace (Prometheus, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) is currently in talks to play the British soul singer, who tragically died four years ago due to a lethal amount of alcohol intoxication after battling with addiction. However, it may not be the only Winehouse project in the works. Read More »

Tom Hardy has never met an accent he didn’t like, whether it’s Bostonian in The Drop, Welsh in Locke, or whatever the hell he’s doing in The Dark Knight Rises. In his new movie Child 44, he gets to take midcentury Russian out for a spin.

Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), the thriller follows police agent Leo Demidov (Hardy) in Soviet-era Russia. When he begins investigating a serial killer who targets young boys, he attracts the wrath of the state, which refuses to acknowledge the crimes at all.

Dennis Lehane has been behind some of the best mysteries and thrillers of the past several years, as the author of Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, and Shutter Island. But this fall’s The Drop marks his first time actually adapting his own work for the screen.

Based on Lehane’s short story “Animal Rescue,” the crime drama follows two cousins (Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini) who run a Brooklyn bar that functions as a drop point for local gangsters. When the place is robbed, the pair find themselves at the center of events which spin out of their control. Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts also star.

Noomi Rapace is getting herself some superpowers. The Swedish actress is joining Will Smith in Brilliance, about a world where a small percent of the population is born with special abilities. Julius Onah (The Girl Is in Trouble) is directing from a script by David Koepp (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit). Hit the jump for plot and character details and more.

Here are the first images from the final James Gandolfini film, The Drop. Once called Animal Rescue, the tense Brooklyn-set drama also features Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts, under the direction of Bullhead helmer Michael Roskam. Dennis Lehane (Gone Baby Gone) scripted the crime drama, which features Gandolfini as a former criminal whose cousin, played by Tom Hardy, is trying to go straight and having a pretty bad time doing so.

Briefly: The odds of a Prometheus sequel seemingly dwindle by the day, but two of its stars are set to team up for a Black List script and are bringing Jake Sully alone for the ride. Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Sam Worthington are set to star in Alive Alone, written and directed by Khurram Longi. Elba will play a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who now drives a cab in New York City. Rapace is a prostitute on the run from an evil crime boss (Worthington); she jumps in Elba’s cab and seeks his help. The deal was made at the Berlin Film Festival. [THR]

Tom Hardy kept a pretty low profile in 2013, after spending the previous two years zipping from Cold War thriller to Prohibition drama to superpowered blockbuster. But fortunately for fans, his release schedule ramps up again in 2014 with two promising crime pics: the Dennis Lehane adaptation Animal Rescue, and the Stalin-era mystery Child 44.

In the latter, Hardy plays a Soviet military police officer whose investigation into a child murder attracts the displeased attention of the government. The first stills from the production have him looking sharp in uniform, alongside co-stars Noomi Rapace and Gary Oldman. Daniel Espinosa directed the film, with Ridley Scott serving as a producer. Check them out after the jump.

Noomi Rapace has demonstrated an admirable range over the course of her career, and now she’ll get to show off some of her many sides in a single movie. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star has been cast in Tommy Wirkola‘s What Happened to Monday? as not one, not two, but seven different characters — a group of sisters trying to escape notice in a dystopian society.
